Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese
  • 10 ounces Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons water (if using seasoning)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeños or green chiles
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or green onion for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat for a leaner dip.
  2. Add Seasoning: If desired, stir in the taco seasoning packet along with 2 tablespoons of water to the browned beef. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
  3. Prepare Cheese: Cube the Velveeta cheese into bite-sized pieces for even melting and place them into the crockpot.
  4. Add Tomatoes: Pour the entire undrained can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies directly over the cheese in the crockpot.
  5. Combine Beef: Spoon the cooked beef mixture on top of the cheese and tomatoes in the crockpot.
  6. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally until the Velveeta cheese is completely melted and the dip is creamy and well combined.
  7. Mix Well: Stir the dip thoroughly to create a smooth, creamy texture, blending all ingredients evenly.
  8. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped cilantro or green onions on top for a fresh, vibrant finish.
  9. Serve: Serve the warm dip with tortilla chips, pretzels, or fresh vegetables for dipping and enjoy a delicious, hearty snack.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add extra jalapeños or green chiles along with the Rotel tomatoes.
  • You can prepare the beef and seasoning mixture a day ahead and refrigerate, then add to the crockpot before cooking.
  • This dip can be kept warm on the crockpot’s keep-warm setting for several hours if needed.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • Optional taco seasoning adds flavor but can be omitted for a milder taste.
